In my lifetime, I can count on one hand how many deer I have hit on Montana's highways. I can't count on all my fingers and toes, how many close calls I have had. An Arkansas teen recently had a REAL "close call" when her car collided with a buck and was impaled by his antlers.

According to KTRE

A freak accident in Jonesboro on Wednesday sent a 17-year-old Paragould High School senior to the hospital. Tori Henry was driving north down Johnson Avenue around 4 p.m. when a 5 point buck hit her driver side window.

Tori's mother, Nikki Winn, said she couldn't believe what had happened. Just last week Tori walked in Paragould High School's homecoming, but as of Wednesday their lives had been turned upside down.

The buck busted her driver side window, and one of the antlers impaled Tori's jaw bone. Winn explained her daughter did her best to remain calm. Winn said, “She kept her composure after the deer hit her and drove and parked her car so no one else would get hurt.”

Tori was then taken to Le Bonheur Children's hospital where she underwent a five hour long jaw surgery. Winn said, “It's really a day by day thing at this point, but the first priority is making her comfortable and getting her spirits lifted.”
